In life, we ALL do experienced difficulties which some quits if ever they've done their best a million times but still fails on it. Others also say that if we're determined enough, even how many times we failed, success will eventually come our way. Even famous scientists never quits after a hundred trials and errors they've made. Have you experienced to quit at something after you've tried your best but still no progress has been made? Are you a quitter? Or will you continue and challenge life, that you can? Coz for me, as long as we're still alive, Hope and success are coming our way! ^_^

If something is worthwhile pursuing I never quit unless there is no more value in continuing to pursue something. There is a time to keep going and a time to quit. But when it comes to the important things I try to cultivate the same spirit as the apostle Paul: Galatians 6:9 (New International Version) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

True that their is not much reason to continue somethings that is not working out but it is always nice to wait a bit to make sure that it is not somehing you like doing.I usually give it a few months to decide if i will like to contine doing somethings as sometimes something can be fustrating and difficult at the beginning but become easier as you go so i give a new expeience a little time before quitting entirely.

What you say is fine! One has to give something time before they decide that they should stop pursuing it.

There are times when I feel like quitting especially when I have a problem that I can't seem to find a solution to. But then I always keep in mind that if I quit what makes me so sure that the same problem won't happen to me again? It's always best to face the music, because we can learn a lot from the trials we face. So I say no to quitting :)

Tend to quit some other time, maybe because we're only human, but it can't be and never be. We can't achieve success if we are a quitter. Therefore, instead of quitting I pray to God and beg more strength to challenged and surpassed all the trials come on my way.

For me all I can say is that: Quiter doesn't mean you are a failure. Why? Because, in every task we did, in every challenge we engage, there should be a rest. And for me like in a business, you should learn the science of quiting! That if it seems the business can't survive, quit then put some new. Unless you quit and stay on your downfalls, that is the time that i can say you are a failure!

Good day wiwa05. I would honestly say that it really depends on the situation you are in. Quitting is not always a sign of cowardice. It sometimes define the courage and strength that you have. We struggle just to live life. We even complicate things. If you quit on something, it may have reasons. And these reasons would definitely be good enough. I am not a quitter. I challenge myself everytime. But if I know, I've done enough and nothing really happens, then I would continue my life to other things. Life would not always encircle one thing. You need to get moving to experience how it is in the real world. ;)

There have been times, when I wanted to quit, especially there didn't really seem like there could be a solution. But in the end, something did turn out, which is something I'm happy turned out. Generally, something did turn out.

No, definitely not. The last time I quit my job it was because I was constructively dismissed meaning I was illegally terminated by the management, and although I filed a resignation letter, it was indicated there that I was "forced to resign" and I filed a complaint against the company and eventually won. After the incident, I didn't really know what to do next since I was already quite overaged to be applying for a new job. I thought of working online since I am a journalist by profession, so I eventually established myself as an online earner. Fortunately for me, the challenge proved to be fruitful since I am now earning more than what I had been earning in my previous job, and I am now even able to pay off the debts I incurred from working in such a low-paying job. In retrospect, there was even a time when I asked myself why I didn't do this sooner so I could have earned more and not wasted my life on such an ungrateful company? Anyway, I just feel bitter when I get to recollect all the efforts I put into improving my work but when I think of my present job and my ability to stay at home and do my work in consonance with my household chores, I feel so blessed because not everyone can do what I am doing. Sorry for my tendency to ramble, but it's all related to being a quitter. So just to answer your question based on my story, I am NOT A QUITTER!

I have never considered myself to ever be a quitter. Quitting is giving up. Nothing good ever comes from letting go and and not trying. i may not always succeed at what I attempt, but I don't give up.

Good morning dear wiwa05 , when i was a child , around my twelfe years old , i had used to work with my father at renovating and making the house bigger with two more rooms and one bathroom , and i had really hate the guts of my step father , so when my mother was sending me to give a helping had to my steptfather i was really not going motivated as at all , since he was the type of man that drinks alot of vodka when working and he needs to think verry muych ( a great deal of tim at least half an hour everytime ) before he would do something and when we were at the middle of doing the thing he had decided he realized that he had made a wrong decision , so we had to stop , try to repaid the damaged caused and then we were up for another at least half of hour of thinking . I wanted to just give up at it , but then again thanks to my brother in law , i never did , because i was working only in the week'ends with the old man , but in the week-days i was working with my brother in law whom used to work in constructions , so with him everythin got smooth , fast and verry well done , so i used to love working with him. I wish you a great day dear wiwa05

Nope, I am for sure not a quitter and I try to see things right to the bitter end.Even if I am struggling I still carry on and continue untill I am kicked out or have not more options to continue.During college I had difficulty with a programming course and I kept going right till the end of the semastar as i did not want to stop until the exams to see if it was right for me.I did not pass but i found out that i would be better suited for a business course which i am taking now and doing really good in.I think it is better to do something that i enjoy and find easy to do rather than something that i like but am not capable to do very well.

Hi wiwa05! I would like to think that I am not a quitter. I believe there are many solutions to a single problem. All we need to do is to look for the solution. Sometimes, the solution we find may not be the solution we want, but it is still a solution. I've been through so many trials and sometimes, problems that I faced alone. Apprehensive and anxious but still moving on and facing the problems. Right now, I am facing one...but I believe I will find a solution. Cross my fingers? Lol!

no im not. i will continue doing whatever it is until i finally get it or accomplish it, now there are days when i think about it because it would be so easy just to do so but then later on in life, your sitting back with alot of regrets and bitter because you quit on something that for all you know you were meant to do and it could have lead to bigger and better things!
